I got mine at Peavey Mart in the chicken fence section. Big roll was $20 or $30.

Another option would be to use egg crate, most hardware stores carry it for fluorescent light fixtures.

Steve,

You can buy the material to build a screen cover from Home Depot

Window screening is a poor choice for aquarium screening because it blocks a lot of light. Even in a FOWLR tank.

I use clear bird netting,nothing local here,except the frame materials.Shared shipping for the netting from BRS with a friend placing an order.Doesn't block light,light and easy to remove.Have lost 100's of dollars before as fish jumped.

+ to the plastic mesh... I got some gray one and used the window frame kit from Rona... Best investment ever and it fits perfectly over my tank... I would have lost many fish by now if it wasn't for the screen.

I'd love to try the clear stuff and might order some from BRS one day.

I saw clear mesh (about 1/4" squares) at Canadian Tire yesterday. It's in the gardening section as "bird netting"
